Serviced ARP Omni 2 Synthesizer with Synthchaser MIDI Adapter

Description

Here’s a serviced ARP Omni 2… with MIDI!!  This synthesizer has just been serviced by Synthchaser, the United States’ top ARP specialist – recapped, new key bushings, new LED sliders, fully functional, calibrated, in tune and sounding great.  And best of all, this has been fitted with the Synthchaser MIDI Adapter!  This keyboard is the sound of Joy Division and is all over The Cars’ “Moving In Stereo”, and many other late 70’s/early 80’s albums.  It produces the lush Solina/String Ensemble sounds plus has a polyphonic synthesizer section with a voltage controlled filter, LFO, and ADSR, and a dedicated bass synthesizer section.

Here’s a video showing that this keyboard is working great!

Good physical condition with some flaws on the front and rear panels, and top paint, see photos.  The original ratty leather side panels were replaced with new walnut panels.

• Synthchaser MIDI Adapter – Supports MIDI IN and THRU (only an “IN” jack has been fitted on this synthesizer).  Configurable MIDI channel and starting key on your MIDI controller.
• Synthchaser Precision LED slider upgrade.  All 15 of the old original sliders have been replaced with new, smooth, high precision LED illuminated sliders.  The difference in the way these sliders feel and perform compared to the originals is a huge improvement.
• Power supply rebuilt – All tantalum and electrolytic capacitors in the power supply have been replaced, and high quality, high temperature 105 deg C capacitors have been used for the power supply filter capacitors.
• All tantalum capacitors replaced – The tantalum capacitors in ARP synths are ticking time bombs.  All of the over 100 tantalum capacitors in this synth have been replaced with electrolytics to help provide stable operation for years to come.
• Synthchaser 4075 Filter Enhancement  Kit Installed – The ARP Omni uses the same 4075 filter submodule found in the Odyssey, Quadra, Avatar, and Pro DGX.  This has been recapped, and enhanced to provide superior frequency response.
• Keyboard rebuild – New key bushings installed, buss bar & key contacts cleaned and adjusted, keybed leveled, keys ultrasonically cleaned
• Oscilloscope calibration – Fully calibrated to factory spec using oscilloscope and frequency counter.

Prospective buyers are welcome to come try it out before purchasing. Local pickup is welcome and encouraged.  If being shipped, the instrument will be packed well and insured for the full purchase price, but this is a vintage electronic item, so all sales are as-is and final.  But visit the Synthchaser YouTube channel and rest assured that a high quality detailed work was done to this synthesizer by an expert.

If picking up locally and paying cash not only will you not pay shipping, but I will include a free anvil case (will need new foam) for the ARP Omni 2!
